“The FDA’s approval of Zavzpret marks a significant breakthrough for people with migraine who need pain relief and prefer alternatives to oral medications,” said Pfizer’s chief commercial officer Angela Hwang in a statement.

It is noted that a phase three study of this drug proved that it alleviated pain in some migraine sufferers in as little as 15 minutes.

“As a fast-absorbing nasal spray, Zavzpret offers an alternative treatment option for people who need pain relief but cannot take oral medications because of nausea or vomiting,” New England said. Institute of Neurology and Headache in a statement.

The drug was tested by 1,405 people. Half of them took a dose of the spray, while the rest took a placebo.
